Olivia Hastings turned the card over in her hands. At first she thought it must have come by mistake, but the name on the return address caught her eye. Piper Barringer. Though a decade had passed since she had seen her roommate from undergrad, just reading her name put a smile on Olivia’s face. Could it really have been ten years?

Deciding to accept Piper’s invitation, Olivia expected to

spend a much needed girls weekend catching up with an old friend. She expected to be a little bored hearing about book boyfriends and romance, two things she had absolutely no time for. She never expected the case she had waited her whole career for to crack wide open. She never expected her world to be turned upside down. She never expected to meet Dominic Kain.
